To all of Sandy's Family:
Sandy was a frequent customer of ours and I was saddened of read of her passing. She was always so very kind and courteous - even when I could tell she was having a bad day - she would smile and say "take care-have a nice day".

I am sure she will be missed by all of you. Heartfelt sympathies to you from all of us at the Kuhnsville Mini Market.

God Bless.

We are so sorry for your loss. My parents Pat and Mike enjoyed time with both Sandy and Kenny. My mom Pat worked at Grants and Woolworths as a waitress and enjoyed visits with Sandy and her girls. I remember visiting my mom at work and seeing Sandy and her daughters. Years later my daughter Jenny a hostess at Chris's diner enjoyed visits from Sandy.It is a small world because I work at Active Learning Center and became friends with
Deedra , Sandy's amazing granddaughter . So 3 generations of my family have been blessed to have know Sandy and her family. Sandy will be missed but her wonderful memories will live on through her family and friends. Heaven has a beautiful new angel. May she rest in peace.
